Neeraj Chopra Diamond League Live: Neeraj Wins
History has been made here in Zurich. Neeraj Chopra becomes the men's javelin throw champion in Diamond League 2022, thereby clinching his maiden Diamond League title.
The sixth round saw the Haryana-born athlete recording a distance of only 83.60m, but that does not hold any significance in the broader perspective as his second round throw of 88.44 is enough to make Neeraj the first ever Indian to win a title at the Diamond League.
